Lyrics for Jericho

?: Make sure you don't blow your cheeks off. (someone plays a trumpet) ?: (laughs) Make sure you don't blow your brains out your ears. Peter?: Yeah, you blow the wind right out your ears if you don't... (trumpet) ?: (laughs) Look at that pose! (trumpet) ?: You look like a member of the charmed club in high school. ?: Jericho's wall... Micky: That's what he did, man, you hear about Jericho's wall? He opened up a B-flat valve and blew the seam. The horn didn't knock no wall down, no, it was the seam that blew open, man! (Peter laughing) Micky: You never heard about Jericho either, didja? Blew his head off man, and the wall, the whole thing. ?: RRRRAAAARAAAA! Micky: He wasn't... ?: (deep voice) Walls came tumbling down... Micky: He didn't wanna knock those walls down, man. No, he didn't wanna knock those walls off, man. He was just doing a peace march around the outside of the city, man. It was just your Sunday peace march... ?: (deep voice) La la la la la la... La la la la la la... La la la la la la... Micky: He wasn't blowin' a little tune, doobie doobie doobie, when all of a sudden, this asshole came up blows off the valve and the seam blew the wall down, they wrote a song about it, ever heard it? Peter: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Peter and Micky: Jericho, Jericho Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Peter and Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho, Jericho Joshua fit the battle... ?: He's recording, man. ?: I think I've lost control. Peter and Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho, Jericho ?: I think I've lost control of the Monkees. Peter and Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Micky: Hey, hey, hey Peter and Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho, Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Peter: You can talk about your men of Gideon You can talk about your men of Saul But there's none like good old Joshua At the battle of Jericho Micky: Well, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho, Jericho Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down Peter: Whoa, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Ah, Jericho, Jericho Peter and Micky: Joshua fit the battle of Jericho And the walls come tumbling down...
